Bezoekers vanuit het zuiden aan onze open dag komende zondag opgelet: er vinden wegwerkzaamheden plaats. Volg daarom niet blindelings je navigatiesysteem, maar let goed op de borden, die je een alternatieve route naar Dwingeloo geven. #WvdW24

Greenpeace is disappointed that the International Court of Justice (ICJ) did not order an immediate ceasefire in Gaza today.
We repeat our call for an immediate and comprehensive ceasefire - massive and urgent humanitarian aid must be delivered unimpeded to the people of Gaza now - and for the release of all hostages and all illegally detained people.
ALT Ceasefire now. With rainbow and dove of peace.

📡Astronomers image for the first time a black hole’s shadow together with a powerful jet. For the first time, astronomers have observed, in the same image, the shadow of the black hole at the center of the galaxy M87 and the powerful jet expelled from it almaobservatory.org/en/press…

Possibly also connected to the fact that there’s little/no welfare safety net and healthcare is linked to employment, since to some degree suicide tracks unemployment rates. In other wealthy countries, losing your job isn’t a potentially terminal condition.

There is a group of large dark asteroids in the Outer Main Belt that shares properties and history with Ceres: they accreted late (1.5-3.5 Myr after SS formation) and come from the outer Solar System. @drisstakir, @astromaterials, @sraymond_astro et al.: nature.com/articles/s41550-0…

One of the reasons for me to study astronomy in the first place was because I love maps and wanted to know how our cosmic surroundings look like. Very nice to see this visualisation of our cosmic neighbourhood. ⬇️
In 2020-21, astronomer Céline Reylé led a team to prepare a comprehensive list of all the stars, brown dwarfs and exoplanets within 10 parsecs (about 32 light-years). Reylé and her team have now updated this list:
